Heavily weighting receiving production for TE's is one of the biggest mistakes one can make for TE's IMO. TE's are underused extremely often in college, and it really says very little about their talent. It's like how spread Offenses boost the production of WR's, but for TE's, they are often held down in production._________________

I guess you win the award for most edgy player rankings. Disagree with most of the rankings at every position but I suppose time will tell.

This is one thing I never understood. Why does everyone agree with whatever the consensus is out there about player rankings?

Look back over any draft and you will see that half of the players in the first round turn out to be busts and the best players overall typically come in rounds 2-4 and are almost always underrated.

In doing my rankings, I made it a point not to just follow the consensus and try to pinpoint what players who are currently being underrated will outperform that rating and turn into studs in the NFL.

Most people play it safe. Especially when they don't have time to evaluate every player. It's why I don't bother with rankings anymore. I can't evaluate 250+ players, so there's no point to putting out rankings. Instead, I just try to find players that I'll pound the table for my team to draft.

Rankings are a farce anyways. Different schemes will rank different players differently (even if they agree on the evaluation)._________________

Agreed. I'd rather stake my name on liking/disliking certain guys than rank all of them. It's way too hard, but major props to everyone who does it._________________
